“The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for circumstances they want and if they can’t find them, they make them”, George Bernard Shaw

We at Printech have taken the above quotation literarily. We understand that the “the good old days” have gone and we have to find ways to continue to prosper. The market is constantly moving and we are sticking to our mission to be innovative with market changes and adapt ourselves to meet those changes.

As far back as 1981 it was clear that South African printers would find it increasingly difficult to buy a Printing Plant from a First World country, because of the exchange rate system. Thomas van den Oever had an innovative and revolutionary approach to this problem. His solution was to establish a factory that would import used Heidelberg printing presses, refurbish them to an as-new condition and supply them at a more affordable price.
